Sitting back and trying to come up with ideas for a bit more headroom under the car when its on a lift. I have 10'10" ceiling and would like to install a two post lift. It would be ideal to have ~12' height to stand comfortably under the car. I can't really raise the finished ceiling (trussed...

Yes, they do. If you can get past that, they are a pretty good compressor. I've got a Polar Air and like it alot. It isn't the quiet series, but is still pretty quiet due to the slow spin speed.

One thing I will add to this thread I when making a desiccant dryer be careful on the shape. A long cylindrical pipe shape filled with desiccant, like the one from princess can have a significant flow restriction and subsequent pressure drop. This may be especially important on a high flow...

Sounds like you would need both a transformer and a phase converter to do this but there may be an easier solution of using a VFD variable frequencies drive. We would need the specifics of the motor plate. Are you positive it isn't a multi-voltage 3 phase motor? It may be able to be tapped as a...

Ding Dong! Never seen one there either. Just be glad it's not in the attic buried under 2 feet of insulation. That's where they typically are. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Only advantage is if someday you upsize your compressor it would be one less thing to buy. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Here's a tip for a drum based cleaner. Take 2 heavy duty trash bags and put them in the drum before filling with solvent. When it's time to change out the solvent, pump it out and then all of the bad sludge is in the trash bags. Pull them out and dispose and the drum is left brand new. Sent...

Mine is an Eaton Polar Air 5HP on an 80 gallon tank. Its a Saylor-Beall knockouff pump but is quiet and built well. Pay some attention to an aftercooler to take the water out. Got mine for 800 used on CL. it had about 20 hours on it.

Looks like it's missing a tooth or two on the far side. A foundry pattern wouldn't have this. No interest from me either. I guess when you work in a stamping plant where you see these things everyday it has less interest. Even painted up pretty like this one. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Might want to see if you can get the fuss in a "slo-blo" version. The startup current for a fan or any motor is usually double of the run rating for a second or two at startup. That's why they make the slow blow type of fuse. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sorry. Didn't mean to offend with some electrical slang. I've done this for so long it's easy to forget that not all have. A pecker head is a metal junction box that mounts on the motor at the point where the wires enter the motor. You can get different sizes to allow for more wires. Sent...

Motor housing or at the pressure switch, wherever you have the most room. Does the motor have a pecker head? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yeah. Some of the high end compressor manufacturers even go so far as to put a fan on the motor pulley to move more air in their kits: http://www.saylor-beall.com/base-mounted/ Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I think this can depend on the particular compressor. My compressor spins the flywheel-fan relatively slow so it really moves a low volume of air. Too low for the cooler. If your motor is a 1700rpm and the pulley diameters are 2:1 or less you may not move enough air. You may be able to improve...

I hope you mean in parallel with the motor! In series means all of the compressor motor power is going through the fans windings. That wouldn't last very long I think. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

One thing to remember when designing these wall mounted multi elbow coolers is pressure drop. Every turn creates a drop in pressure. Not a big deal unless you are running a high flow device like a blast cabinet a big impact or similar device. Here are the numbers...

What kills PVC isn't the air, it's most generally killed by the small amounts of oil that the compressor passes through. If you gave a brand new compressor with tight rings etc, this isn't much and you will probably get by with it. If the compressor is old and you have to refill it once in...

Home Automation? You now have a new hobby that will take most of your free time for the next year or so. Either that or go Crestron or Control 4 and pay a big bill. I went with Insteon and the ISY 994 and am happy enough, but I went in knowing it was going to **** my time up. I am also...
